Worst Cover-Up EVER!

Asked by a reporter in the White House Oval Office how the Khashoggi killing could have happened, Trump said: "They had a very bad original concept. It was carried out poorly, and the cover-up was one of the worst in the history of cover-ups."

Fortunately, Trump did NOT go on to say that he executes big, glorious cover-ups. Or - the gold standard - Clintonesque coverups. With any luck, we'll find out in the next few months whether he does or not.

If only Trump had said, "this affront to civilization can not stand, we can never truly be friends with a nation whose society condones this type of barbarism, Saudi Arabia is dead to us!", why then we'd have a President we could truly be proud of, then we could hold our heads high. Trump needs to understand it's not the cover-up, it's the crime; any of our moral betters, the Democrats, would be arranging with Iran right now to help us bomb Riyadh, that's the ticket.

By the way, I was waiting in a friend the other night and caught an inning of baseball on Gamecast on my ESPN app. Very cool.

It showed an outline of the batter (left or right) with a 3x3 matrix at the strike zone. For each sector, it showed the batter's average, with best results shaded red and worst shaded blue. After each pitch, they'd list the speed and type of pitch. Impressive stuff. And it gave me something to do while baseball was on...

A “hawala”— which is an Arabic term defined in English as transfer (or trust)— is a method of transferring money through informal agents from international networks, and many Muslim immigrants settled in western countries use the “hawala” method to transfer funds to family members.

GAI, citing a U.S. Treasury report, found that more than $7 billion flows into Pakistan alone through hawalas every year.

Because of the informal, simple nature of the transaction, the “hawala” method has also been popular among criminals and terrorists to launder money from the U.S. to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia without a paper trail.

Undercover FBI agents paid for Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum's hotel room and his ticket to the Broadway musical Hamilton during a 2016 trip to New York City, according to a bombshell trove of records that raise new questions just two weeks before next month's election.

The records include photos, a video and dozens of text messages between Gillum, former lobbyist Adam Corey and an undercover FBI agent, and they appear to refute what the mayor has said that trip and others.

His campaign has maintained — and continued to maintain Tuesday — that Gillum's brother, Marcus, who lives in Chicago, handed him the ticket the night of the show. The campaign has not said if Andrew Gillum has asked his brother how he came about the ticket.

The caravan could be his biggest yet test, Extraneus. If they reach the border - and who knows if that's even their goal - something decisive will have to be done. I haven't doubted his results or courage so far, but this showdown would involve televised people victims. Women and children first, of course.

Ufortunaley, he has not much to stand on. Better he go and invade Mexico and stop them there. A war with Mexico, even if they bring all of Central and South America, will be no big thing. In fact, it is sometihing we have put off for too long

The chief challenges to globalization are coming, not from Trump, but from China, Russia, the floundering EU and collapsing states unleashing migrant waves into the system. Merkel is hanging on by a thread ... and there is no Plan B ...

That's about the size of it, pin, you reminded of the absolutely cheesy passions series the other day, how did the nephew of one of the richest men in the world at the time, end up going to Indiana state, I know the adopted son of Edward seaga and someone who ended up prime minister of Haiti graduated from my alms matter.

At the time the soviet's were allied with Nazi Germany, ironically trotsky's was assumed to be in league with the Japanese _don't try to figure it out) made it a reason to purge large parts of the soviet office corps, 1984 adapted that story to the aaronson Rutherford affair.

I grow Italian arugula for Mrs. Kid. Learned how to hide it from the deer. they love the stuff.

i juice wild dandelion leaf. good source of magnesium and vit B. other stuff too. easy to get from the local parks during spring and early summer. great for coming out of hibernation.

i add Himalaya salt, fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and turmeric in 12 oz of water. makes a flavor very similar to Snap-E Tom. if i want rocket fuel i'll juice a fat jalapeno. the proud and the brave will juice a fat habanero or a serrano chili.
